With the help of therapy I am getting through....

With the help of therapy I am getting through my PTSB. I am relearning how to take more control over my life after so much dependency on my husband and friends. I practice driving a little bit every day and I have a rear view mirror which is as big as a couch. I let myself try more things and know when I need to stop and rest , take a nap. It is a whole new balancing act. I have learned to forgive myself when I can't remember something that was just said or names which I was always excellent at.

I am adjusting to not going on some family trips and staying home which is much more comfortable for me. I can't walk along time, be out for endless hours, ride a bike, hike, etc. At first you feel sad for yourself, and then you are just happy to be as far as you are on the journey back to health.
